Fishing at Tippy Dam (north side)

For those people looking to be able to get easy access to fishing the Manistee River at Tippy Dam there is a north parking area and boat launch.  Many people also fish the south side of the dam but there is a steep bank and lots of steps winding down the hill.

The North side has been greatly improved over the years to include: fish cleaning station, Grills, benches, crushed rock pathway, stairs down to the riverside as well as a dock area with a wheelchair ramp.

Having traveled around many places, it is GREAT to see this area developed to allow special needs access.  There is still plenty of river that isn't developed between the Dock and the Saw Dust Hole for those who like a more remote feeling.

Overall this is one of the best locations for salmon & steelhead fishing when you consider all the options.

Today many fish were spread out with the high water and they were feeding.
